Medway Towpath

The purpose of the River Medway Towpath is to encourage cycling and walking by providing attractive, direct routes for cyclists and pedestrians, to access employment, education, shops and other facilities in Maidstone Town Centre, and along the River Medway corridor. The path will run between Aylesford and Barming (total length: 10.5km). This will be a valuable resource in which daily exercise can be taken as part of a daily commute or as a leisure activity, with great benefits for the health and well being of everyone. Unfortunately, there are sections of the Towpath that need urgent improvements and we, at Maidstone Cycle Campaign Forum, have been working hard to alert the local authorities about our concerns with sections of the path as it runs from Springfield to Lockmeadow (and in particular going from Medway Street to Lockmeadow).
